    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Physical Therapy

    Background:

    • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is frequently linked to muscle weakness and improper stroke mechanics.
    • Lesions commonly occur at the lateral epicondyle (70-80%), musculotendinous junction, or medial condyle.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the causes, treatment, and prevention of tennis elbow.
    • To highlight the importance of early intervention and rehabilitation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing evidence on tennis elbow etiology and treatment.
    • Discussion of therapeutic interventions including steroid injections, electrical stimulation, and exercise protocols.

    Main Results:

    • Strong evidence supports muscle weakness and poor technique as primary causes.

  • Anti-inflammatory steroid injections show efficacy for condylar lesions.
  • Early-stage treatments like sinusoidal wave stimulation and wrist dorsiflexion are crucial.
  • Progressive exercise programs significantly decrease recurrence.

    • Conclusions:

    • Tennis elbow management requires addressing underlying causes and employing appropriate interventions.
    • Early and consistent adherence to rehabilitation exercises is key to preventing symptom recurrence and improving long-term outcomes.
